How many fee-waivers are too many???

<p>I am an international student asking for a full scholarship. Obviously, there are no safeties for me, and even the last school on any ranking list is a reach for me. But still, these are some schools that I have liked so far(academics, students, setting, etc etc), which afaik do give full scholarships to internationals, even though extremely difficult to get into asking for one. Tell me if I can shorten this down, or add some more(or maybe substitute some with other schools). I will possibly major in something Math, Computer related and Astrophysics.</p>

<p>MIT(<em>), Princeton(</em>), Caltech(<em>), Dartmouth(</em>), Stanford(<em>), Colgate(</em>), Swarthmore(<em>), Amherst(</em>), Williams(<em>), Dickinson(</em>), Columbia, U Penn, Tufts, Northwestern, Pomona, Lafayette, Carleton, Bates.</p>

<p>Ofcourse this is a HUGE list and needs shortening. So, please advise. Thanks!!</p>

<p>I think no one is responding because people think it's a little ridiculous that you are asking for a full scholarship. Colleges don't just hand out full scholarships to anyone. In addition, the schools you are interested in may very well be out of your reach academically. You need safety schools.</p>

<p>AFAIK:
Upenn, Stanford, and Caltech are stingy with aid. Especially since you're from India, right. Apply to those where you have a fighting chance of getting in with full scholarship AND will want to attend. I can't remember your stats...</p>

<p>Anyway, even with fee waivers, you will still need to pay for the SAT sending and postage for your forms, so beware. Post this in the intel forum.</p>
